„There is no racial discrimination in London.“ This phrase is racial, because the people who say this don't have any idea, what racial discrimination actually is.

Germany

We chose him as a new roommate, so I added him as a friend on Facebook. He sent me a message, 'Konnichiwa.' (It means 'hello' in Japanese. The person who wrote this report is Korean. Very probably, the guy knows about her nationality, but he didn't respect it.) I wrote back, „This is not funny.“ He answered, „Hey, come on. It's funny.“
When I talk with my Korean friends in Korean language, he used to hear it and try to imitate it, not in a gentle way.
He told me, „For us, Europeans, you Asians look all the same. Slit-eyed.“

in a train / in Strasburg and Paris

As soon as I entered a train station in France, I heard 'Nihao' and 'Ching Chang Chong'.
As I took off the train, I heard again 'Nihao' and 'Ching Chang Chong'.
On the road, again, 'Nihao' and 'Ching Chang Chong'.
It goes on and on.

Berlin / Germany

The male personnel of a hostel saw me and said, „I prefer asian women to european women, because they are passive.“ He asked my age and I answered.

Muenster / Germany

A boy who was playing in the same football team asked me, if I knew the player Kagawa Shinji (japanese football player in the team Borussia Dortmund). I answered that I knew him. During the play, he kept on calling me 'Shinji.' He could have said, 'pass!', instead of shouting continuously, 'nihao, gonnichiwa.' After the training, I asked him not to call me in that way. He doesn't do it any longer, but I could understood how he considered me.July 2016

University colleagues said I speak German well compared to other Asians, and they sometimes found European characteristics from me. A man said that I looked attractive as I was not a typical Asian.

In the train / Train to Munich

On my way to the toilet in the train, a German old man stood in front of the toilet door to block me. I asked him to clear the way in German, but he mocked me and stood still.

In the end, I could not go to the toilet because I am an Asian.2015
